I would think it would be a huge amount of work , it would be much cheaper and less labor intensive to find one of the group industries stampings and work from there , century had a bunch of them for sale eailer this year . I have one I will sell you for $165 if interested

yes they have to ship to an ffl , and there is a lot less work to do than finishing one of the phil ord dummy rec. The phil ord requires a milling machine , mill vice , fixture to hold it verticaly so you can drill and ream the bbl socket a variety of diff endmills and at least 30 hours spindle time if your doing the work manualy . That doesnt even begin to touch on how youll machine the feed ramp .

I also have a PhilOrd 80% receiver that I am in the process of building the problems I fore see is how to mill the back end and leave the top portion for the sights to set on unless I weld it back and that is the reason to own one of these so you dont have welds also the topcover latch is going to create simular problems any sugestions are appreciated

I have one of the stamped 80%'er left. (Pictured above.)
built a few if them up. almost done with the mini build. Just have to get a back plate and mini stock. they are not hard to build up just takes time.
and finding the parts. No special skills or tools are needed.
You will need a welder small mig. works best.
